Projection Grey/Black - 005
Harlequin’s Reversible Black/Projection Grey vinyl absorbs ambient light and delivers a more vivid projection of images on to the vinyl surface. Contrast ratios are enhanced, ensuring less light bleed and less unwanted reflective light. As the leading product on the market for peak gain measurement, Harlequin’s Projection Grey provides higher brightness and a wider viewing angle for audiences, through front projection. This is a practical solution for film, TV and theatre production.

A sprung floor provides some degree of bounce and flexes under impact giving a softer feel. Performers need a sprung floor to absorb the shock of repeated impact to their joints and reduce injury from falls.
With the temporary nature of events, purchasing a sprung floor is not always necessary and budgets don’t always allow for it. To meet your needs, Harlequin provides a hire service of its Liberty sprung floor panels so that you can install a floor specifically for your event and then return it once it’s finished.

Harlequin Liberty HD
Harlequin Liberty is a modular sprung dance floor panel system, designed for permanent or portable installation. Panels are laid in a brickwork fashion onto the sub-floor, so that cross joins do not coincide. The panels lock securely together using our unique ‘one turn of the key’ latch and lock mechanism.
Harlequin Liberty can be used wherever a permanent or temporary performance surface is required and is in high demand for touring productions and film shoots.
Harlequin Liberty HD is a further development of our renowned Liberty panel system, designed with enhanced durability in mind, for more challenging environments. The panels are overlaid with a black polymer resin. The top surface has a textured high grip pattern and is wear reistant, anti-slip and weatherproof..
Harlequin Liberty HD is suitable for exterior use in covered areas, and is widely used for festivals, theme parks and similar applications .
